Jesy, 31, previously departed the group in December of 2020, but now she revealed her struggles in a deeply emotional chat with The Sun.
She explained: “Being in a girl band, you are a machine going all the time.
“You don’t have a minute to breathe and take time out if you just need space. That was something I struggled with.
“For me my mental health issues were an ongoing thing while I was in Little Mix.
“I was struggling with my body issues, I was constantly being trolled — and I really, really struggled with it.
“I was in it for nearly ten years. I think I was never prepared for what was to come.

“I didn’t have social media or any of that, I was just a barmaid working in Dagenham.”
Sadly, despite the “most amazing times”, the recording artist said she couldn’t enjoy the good parts by the end, and she was relieved to have stepped away.
She admitted: “I will say this always, your mental health is the most important thing and you only live once so sometimes you have to stop and look after yourself.
“I needed support and help to overcome that, and there wasn’t the time while I was in the band.
“I don’t have any regrets because I had to do what was right for me and I will always cherish the memories I had in Little Mix.”
“So no, we haven’t talked since then. Never say never, but I honestly wish them the best on their solo journeys now, which is so exciting. That is what is so exciting about all of us.
“We are all musically different styles. I think we will all go in our own lane. I am rooting for all of them. I honestly do wish them all the success as they are all crazy talented.”
